Make sure you have the latest versions of Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.

Make sure to add your user to the docker group when using Linux.

Configuration

All the ENVIRONENTS are stored in the .env file that is created through ./create.sh

Installation

Open a terminal and run create.sh and enter in environment variables

For convenience you may add a new entry into your hosts file.

Usage

Starting containers

You can start the containers with the up command in daemon mode (by adding -d as an argument) or by using the start command:

docker-compose start

Stopping containers

docker-compose stop

Removing containers

To stop and remove all the containers use thedown command:

docker-compose down

Use -v if you need to remove the database volume which is used to persist the database:

docker-compose down -v

Creating database dumps

./export.sh

Developing a Theme

Configure the volume to load the theme in the container in the docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
  - ./theme-name/trunk/:/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/theme-name

Developing a Plugin

Configure the volume to load the plugin in the container in the docker-compose.yml:

volumes:
  - ./plugin-name/trunk/:/var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name

WP CLI

The docker compose configuration also provides a service for using the WordPress CLI.

Sample command to install WordPress:

docker-compose run --rm wpcli core install --url=http://localhost --title=test --admin_user=admin [email protected]

Or to list installed plugins:

docker-compose run --rm wpcli plugin list

For an easier usage you may consider adding an alias for the CLI:

alias wp="docker-compose run --rm wpcli"

This way you can use the CLI command above as follows:

wp plugin list
